Over the past 35 years Kent Bailey has developed a woodcarving style uniquely his own. His experience in woodworking, silversmithing, commercial illustration, metal sculpture, professional music and his role as Director of Development and Staff Artist for the National Carvers Museum have influenced the art that he creates today.

Kent's work is displayed by galleries, businesses and individuals throughout the country and abroad.

For the past 20 yrs, he has carved custom necks, resonators and peg heads for Chuck Ogsbury of Ome Banjo Co. in Boulder, Co. Commissioned pieces have been created for Edmond L. Merril (Merril-Lynch Co.) , Olympic skier Hank Kashiwa, Ted Nugent, Troy Aikman, actress Nikki Gaida, Berkely Breathed of Opus cartoon fame, Stan Kronke for the Blue Room at the Pepsi Center, Camp Verde Store, Texas, the Cloud Nine room at the greyhound dog track in Colorado Springs and the exclusive Crescent Club in Dallas, just to name a few.

Custom projects are designed and illustrated by the artist and created in wood, metal, and stained glass combinations. All stained glass is designed by Kent and his wife Tammy, the glass artist. Her choices in glass color, texture, design and her attention to fine craftsmanship add to the uniqueness and quality of each project.

Wooden projects are created in shallow relief, deep relief and in the round. Each piece is custom designed to the individual and no works are copied or mass produced. All works are created by the artist and his wife through all stages of production to ensure absolute quality.
